It appears from the photos of this adapter on the
e-*** site, that this is the identical R-EOS
adapter that Gandy sells at 175 USD, correct?

Dave,
It fits exceptionally well and focuses at infinity (something I was concerned about as I've had problems with other adapters not doing so, but those were old adapters for other mount cameras). The adapter locks into place solidly on the EOS body and the R lens locks solidly into place in the adapter, no looseness whatsoever on either end. The lens release for releasing the R lens from the adapter is simple and positive and very easy to get to (something I have heard can be a problem with the Novoflex adapter, but I have no first hand experience with the Novoflex adapter).

Don, how well does it work and fit? Are you happy with it?

Douglas,
I'm not sure why they don't show them on their web site yet, but they do have them. Try emailing them that question. I got mine off of their eBay "Buy It Now" auction. I think they keep a running "Buy It Now" going for the adapter. Try this URL: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=30059&item=3868524092&rd=1

Just been to http://www.Fotodiox.com - no mention of Leica to EOS at all, lots of M39 to just about everything, M42 to all sorts and Nikon to EOS. Are they hiding it from us Europeans? Douglas BTW Very happy with the Novoflex Leica-R/EOS adapter I picked up at Photokina along with a few other bits and pieces, about 20% off RRP and a voucher for 10% off my next Novoflex purchases - that makes me like the company very much indeed.

Why pay $175 plus shipping from Camera Quest for a Leica R to EOS adapter when you can get the Leica R to EOS adapter for $89 plus shipping as a "Buy It Now" item from Fotodiox on eBay or simply order direct from http://www.Fotodiox.com and bypass eBay?
